they sure do make new humans hyper cute. and for any who have cared for them, you know why.

and i can't ever see a picture of anfer sitting like that without remembering his unique manner of locomotion. i also remember thinking that the underside of his calloused legs, the part in contact with the ground, would never be soft and always carry the leathery badge of his peculiar method of getting around. because keep in mind his "scoot" was the only way he would/could move and he wasn't always on nice smooth hardwood. sometimes he was on rough cement sidewalks or dirt. and whether wearing shorts or pants, the child would drag himself along with that crab-like leg reaching out in front. nuts, nuts, nuts.
